War and It's Remedies : George Cone Beckwith

War and It's Remedies : George Cone Beckwith
The Book History Wanted to Bury

In 1847, George Cone Beckwith published a book called The Peace Manual: or, War and its Remedies. The book was so effective that it prevented the Civil War, both World Wars, The Korean and Vietnam War, and now it has prevented the Iraq War. Well maybe I overstate. Maybe it didn't prevent any of these atrocities, but one can't fault a guy for trying. He probably didn't realize what a bellicose nation he was living in. Nor did he anticipate a War Machine based on the profits and spoils of wars...deemed necessary for their economic survival. In other words, he didn't realize that America was going to be run by Satan and the Hell on Earth crowd, who actually thrive at the suffering of others.
